How Does Agri-Cycle Define Food Waste?

We accept just about anything you would consider food waste—including food that’s still in its packaging. Notable exceptions include seafood shells, animal carcasses, and soiled pizza boxes.

Our state-of-the-art depackager separates food waste from metal, plastic, and cardboard (sorry, no glass). Packaging must have significant food volume in it. Any packaging with less than 50% percent food volume should be washed and recycled if possible.
